Predictable levels of misogyny in any ‘discussion’ of tax and Angela Rayner. She has never had anywhere close to respect from much of the press - or public. Despite her massive achievements.

The pixelated word is bitch.

Er.. Farage has a spectacularly short memory. We were not going downhill quite so fast before Brexit..

Let’s hope voters remember better.

It’s violent direct action & disruption - rather than ‘protest’. And it’s definitely political. But it’s aimed at protecting civilians by instead harming military hardware.

PA is very clear on the difference between protest &what it does, & strategic risks to activists.

It can be hard to know if you’re having an impact - today I got a ❤️ warming ‘You’re Valued’ award for my teaching. Anonymous nomination - so thanks to whoever felt I helped! I will now feel valued whenever I have one of my many caffeine breaks a day ☕️😁

The picture in the West meanwhile is one of younger attackers many minors, unclear ideologies and lone actors. Seven western countries are now in the top global 50 in the index.

Global terrorism Index report is out today with worrying data on violence in the Sahel.

Additionally while negativity toward France in the Sahel grew, sentiment for Russia was more positive.

Starmer and the Tates fly to the US on the same day. Optics are dreadful.

Will there be roles for these British extremists in US gov? The Tates’ fans seem to think so.

Two troubling masculinity stories from the US this week.
Trump support for Tate, who has been trying to cosy up to Musk & the administration since ££ seemed a prospect, & to Trump forever.. ..and Vance echoes of Tate in his 'masculinity' speech.

Vance - no one is demonising men for having a beer.

Even the telegraph recognises these guys are radicalised.

Maybe Musk has been telling Trump about Sun City.
It’s a hideous Telegraph cartoon but illustrates the even more hideous idea pretty well.

How is threatening to impose tariffs, then immediately pausing the threatened tariffs a win?

I hate how I am obsessively watching US democracy unravel. But it’s important to see it all and not to look away.

The answer isn’t to broaden what terrorism is - it’s to refer people capable of violence to the right services. Prevent wasn’t the right service in this case.
